Chapter 168
Still, Dong Huaihua came to persuade her, “Auntie, what are you doing? The evidence from the school is solid, but you still want to use connections? Do you want that youngest son of yours to die slowly?”
Old Lady Han was so frightened, “Director, what do you mean?”
“Auntie,they’re cracking down on bribery and corruption. If you try to use connections again, wouldn’t that be adding a grand finale for his crimes? The crime will be added to one more level,” If this sort of matter was exposed, the Public Security Bureau and the Village Commune would be highly involved, and by then, Shanzui Village would truly lose all their reputation.

Old Lady Han started to cry again. She didn’t know what she could do.
“It’s just a matter of rules, so it’s fine for them to just give things a check. As long as you cooperate and explain it well, it wouldn’t be too bad. After all, we are from poor peasant backgrounds but our roots are right,” Dong Huaihua was also a sensible person— she knew that this matter could be big or small. Hence, it would be better to wait for Han Qingsong’s words when he comes back.
Old Lady Han also seemed to understand that it didn’t matter if it wasn’t a class antagonism issue. Either way, he probably wouldn’t be shot as punishment.
She obtained Han Qingyun’s guidance again, but the most important thing was to wait for the third brother to come back.
Old Lady Han just stopped and she had never looked forward to her third son coming home to this extent. Once he was home, he could settle the issues and bring his fourth brother home.
But she was still unwilling and sighed with the ointment plasters all day long, “When he married such a useless star, I said at the time that we should wait for a prosperous day and we can’t let her enter the door in such a hurry… Hmph, I shouldn’t have wanted her back then. She’s not even as good as the daughter in the Liu family…”
Eldest sister-in-law Han heard that she had started talking nonsense again as she quickly told her to stop. She didn’t want the old lady to make the Third family angry again, since it wasn’t as if it never happened before.

Old Man Han asked her and his youngest son to change their names again. The names Jinbao and Jinyu were meant for them to leave the poor peasant life with golden luck, but look where that ended up. Finally. he went to ask Han Qingping, the principal of the primary school, to authorise it.
Han Jinyu was named Han Qingshan and Han Jinbao was still called Han Qinghua. No one could call them Jinyu and Jinbao in the future.
As soon as they stopped, Lin Lan lived a comfortable life. Every day, she went to work, cooked and washed. She listened to the radio and taught the children, basking in a comfortable life.
Today was another big sale and Lin Lan took a day off from work. She entrusted the house to her children before riding her bicycle to the sale.
On the road, she met a few more women and they were all very envious. When someone was about to say a few sarcastic retorts, Lin Lan rode as far away as the wind, leaving them far behind to eat ashes.
“Look, look at that bubbly look on her face! She’s truly famous now!”
“The famous and powerful wife in the whole commune!” Although they didn’t want to be bullied by their mother-in-law or treated like a slave at home, if others are criticized for their relationship with their mother-in-laws, they wouldn’t be able to live freely either. Some of them did not harbour such hate, so they couldn’t be that harsh.
